MSI Afterburner receives 'unofficial' support for RDNA 4 GPUs, as well as 'future' RTX 50 cards

MSI's awesome Afterburner tool doesn't officially support AMD Radeon RX 9000 series "RDNA 4" graphics cards, but now it unofficially does.

MSI Afterburner developer "Unwinder" posted on the Guru3D forums to talk about the launch of the new beta of MSI Afterburner, which has AMD RDNA 4 GPU architecture support. MSI doesn't make or sell any Radeon RX 9000 series "RDNA 4" graphics cards, with Unwinder saying "so support for this GPU family inside the application is completely unofficial".

Not only do we have unofficial RDNA 4 GPU support, but the new MSI Afterburner beta also supports "future" NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, which means it could be the RTX 5050 for both desktop and laptop.

The new MSI Afterburner 4.6.6 Beta 6 Build 16591 and new RTS Setup 7.3.7 Beta 7 Build 28220 are available on the Guru3D website right here.

Unwinder said on the Guru3D forums: "As I promised some time ago, today we launch new beta of MSI Afterburner with AMD RDNA4 GPU architecture support. I'd like to explicitly mention one more time, that MSI do not sell any RDNA4 based graphics cards, so support for this GPU family inside the application is completely unofficial".

MSI Afterburner v4.6.6 Beta 6 Build 16591 Release Notes:

• Extended +3000MHz memory clock overclocking range tweak for NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics cards, which was available as separately downloadable hardware database for the previous beta, is now integrated into distribution.
